(a) To facilitate and expedite the trial of causes,
the judge of each circuit, superior, probate, and juvenile court of each
county shall appoint an official reporter.
(b) The official reporter shall, when required by the recorder's
appointing judge, do the following:
(1) Be promptly present in the appointing judge's court.
(2) Record the oral evidence given in all causes by any approved
method, including both questions and answers.
(3) Note all rulings of the judge concerning the admission and

admission and rejection of evidence.
(4) Write out the instructions of the court in jury trials.
(c) In counties in which the circuit or probate court sits as a juvenile
court, the official reporter of the circuit court or probate court, as the
case may be:
(1) shall report the proceedings of the juvenile court as part of the
reporter's duties as reporter of the circuit or probate court; and
(2) except as provided in subsection (d), may not receive
additional compensation for the reporter's services for reporting
the proceedings of the juvenile court.
(d) In counties in which a circuit court has juvenile jurisdiction and
where there is a juvenile referee and the circuit judge is the judge of the
juvenile court, the salary of the juvenile court reporter is one hundred
twenty-five dollars ($125) per month in addition to any compensation
the reporter receives as reporter of the circuit court.
(e) The official reporters of juvenile courts shall:
(1) be paid the same amount for their services and in the same
manner;
(2) have the same duties; and
(3) be subject to the same restrictions;
as is provided for by law for the official reporters of the other courts.
However, in a county having a population of more than six hundred
thousand (600,000), the judge of the juvenile court may appoint court
reporters as necessary for compliance with the law in regard to the
reporting of cases and facilitating and expediting the trial of causes,
each of whom is entitled to receive a salary of at least three hundred
dollars ($300) per month.
